Default Ballast Weight

Ballast Weight


Some use none at all , most run some ..


Almost all the team drivers are using ballast on the nose .
It helps smooth out the steering, keeps the nose down, adds on power steering ...



Ae's drivers are using
1 1/2 oz on each side of the servo , 1/4 oz on front corner of
chassis in next to battery .
1 oz on the back of the rear saddle pack .

when using a 550 motor some use a 1/2 oz next to the spur gear to help offset the 550 additional weight ...



Shorty Pack Ballast suggestions..

If you have trouble sawing off corners ?
add 3/4 oz <> 1 1/2 oz on each side of servo ....
